Re: [microsound] noise to signal (subjective...)



Community is great, and I think hearing about new releases/shows is an essential part of that. But on the flip side, when was the last time there was an in-depth, detailed, critical discussion of a new release or a show? This kind of thing /rarely/ happens... and without that kind of engagement with the works we're mentioning, .microsound seems to veer dangerously close to a genre list, a tool for following a scene. It's fine to post a playlist, I suppose, but how about posting a mix meant to educate/curate/provoke-discussion? If list members actually attend a show that's mentioned on the list, how about some commentary? Again, these kinds of discussions are disappointingly rare.

I'm not sure what the best strategies for focusing the list along these lines would be: indeed, maybe no one is interested in going in this direction at all. If not, I would be interested to hear what directions people /were/ interested in taking the list, if any at all.

what i like about this list, (what is most useful to me)
is the links to the music people are making,
notices about shows (though i wish people would
put at the top what city they are occurring in.)
and info about label releases.
folks with techinical questions are also useful.
sometimes the philosphical discussions are fun sometimes they aren't.
